Hello, You are completely correct. As a former career individual, I was on my way to climbing the corporate ladder, but ugh oh I got pregnant and started a family with my husband. I was offered and accepted a consultant position with the company I had previously worked for in a brick and mortar setting, but after a year or two, no work came my way, as it was an hourly based position, no longer salary. I have a Degree from a very upstanding University, DePaul, Chicago. After I have had my children I find it very difficult to find any employer that shows any value in me, as they did prior to procreation. The best offers I get nowadays are like 12 to 15 dollars an hours, is there something wrong here? Should starting a family really deserve to be chastised so much that it cuts your value in more than half? Really?
